Aaron Rai’s wife dazzles at 2025 Masters with impressive swing

It isn’t just the professionals shining at the Masters this year.

On Wednesday, the wife of English golfer Aaron Rai dazzled the crowd at Augusta National when her shot sailed across the water and landed close to the pin during the Par 3 contest.

The brunette beauty, whose identity is unknown, smiled and raised her hands in the air as spectators cheered before celebrating with Rai, 30, who is making his first Masters start.

In footage of the sweet scene, the couple playfully hip bumped one another and embraced.

Currently ranked 28th in the world, Rai joined the PGA Tour in 2022 and won the Wyndham Championship last August.

He played in the three other majors last year — the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the British Open — and finished in ties for 39th, 19th and 75th, respectively.

Rai got off to a solid start Thursday in the opening round, shooting a 3-under through seven holes.

Ahead of this year’s tournament, Rai said the opportunity to compete at the Masters is a “dream come true.”

“I watched videos of Tiger winning for the first time in 1997 but I didn’t have any memories of that live. I think my first memory watching him live was in the 2001 Masters and obviously the iconic chip-in during the 2005 Masters on No. 16 was something I will always cherish,” he said.

Woods, a five-time Masters champion, is currently recovering from an Achilles injury he sustained earlier this year.

He missed Tuesday’s annual Champions Dinner that honored last year’s victor, Scottie Scheffler.

The two-time major winner had a day to remember Wednesday at the Par 3, where family members and friends serve as caddies for the pros, as his infant son Bennett got to participate for the first time.

Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy — hoping to complete golf’s grand slam with a win this weekend — watched 4-year-old daughter Poppy make an epic putt on the green.

The Masters runs through Sunday.
